It's a cool little place with booths and small tables. I could see myself hanging out here. Lots of Texas craft beers on a wide variety of drinks. I highly recommend it.

We hit up Proudest Monkey again in downtown Bryan and this time it was a win all around. The place…read morehas been slinging burgers, tacos and cocktails to the Brazos Valley since forever in restaurant years and the locals seem to love it for good reason. My wife ordered a burger and devoured it without a single word. This is how I know she truly enjoyed it. I went for two tacos (they run about $6 bucks each) including the Pulled Hammy and the Mama Migas. Both were packed with flavor and spicy enough to keep me on my toes. Service was on point. Our waitress hustled even though it was a chill lunch crowd. The bar itself has this cozy (not wide) historic downtown vibe with brick and wood and all the kind of stuff you see in those hip Austin places people brag about. This is why you give everyone a 2nd chance. We'll be back!

Ambiance: There was both indoor and outdoor seating with tables, chairs, and benches. The outdoor area had fans, so it wasn't too hot, which was a nice touch. It was also really cool to see all the beer being brewed right there. They had a wide variety of options, which made choosing fun. Service: The service was great! We told the guy at the counter it was our first time, and he asked us what type of beer we usually like. He even let us try a sample before we made our choice, which was super helpful. Border Town: We ended up choosing this Mexican lager since we usually enjoy Dos Equis. I'd say it tasted even smoother than Dos! I honestly really enjoyed it, and the price was around $8 for a pint, which felt fair for the quality.

Had sort of a roadhouse feel to it, and definitely got busy as the lunch hour progressed. Had a couple beers, the brisket Philly, a frito pie and side of Mac and cheese. Really wanted the brisket queso too, but chickened out as I already ordered quite a bit. Will get it next time though, the brisket in the Philly was delicious. Entered a raffle with an older couple for a pistol on the way out, which I wasn't expecting, but as the elderly gentlemen said, one can never have too many firearms. Fingers crossed I guess lol all around a fun stop for lunch.

The drinks are good, the food is good, and you're definitely getting your bang for your buck! It was bussin in there, but the service was still pretty quick.

Now the drinks here are not the strongest, although they do two drinks well, which are the Manhattan and a Old Fashioned. But most cocktails are pretty weak. They do have a nice selection of beer and I suggest drinking a SnakeBite which is Guiness mixed with a cider. The restraunt next door is connected and serves food to the bar as well. I haven't tried the food, as I am a pescatarian and haven't seen anything that interest me on the menu. Its German food I think.

We dove right in and decided to stop by without lots of context. First of all, I love this place. It's chill, lots of good beer, and has some good open seating. It's an ice house, folks. The beer selection was pretty good with a mix of local/regional craft beers in cans alongside national micro-craft beers from CO, OR, and NM. Great atmosphere if you're just looking to get out of the house. It seemed like they had a few snacks but didn't have too much In terms of food selection. With this place on our list of go-to's, I can safely say Bryan is growing on us!

The spaetzle and potatoes were all good, potato salad being my favorite side of the night. Definitely fit the description of a cozy Bavarian vibe here, there's a bar area and plenty of tables. Service was attentive and efficient and our waitress even gave us a few pretzels to go as they were closing, very nice of them. All in all good drinks, generous portions, and hearty food in a relaxed setting. Exactly what you'd want from a local German spot, would come back if I'm in the area again.

Forewarning, if you are someone who doesn't like cigar smoke, this won't be the spot for you. There are some nice lounge type seating in the back to relax with a cocktail while smoking your cigar of choice. While I'm not one to partake in cigars all that often, I can appreciate them on a special occasion. I can't speak to that experience here as I came strictly for cocktails and to enjoy the outdoor patio as the weather was fantastic. I'll also say that with how busy it was, it was a bit loud inside, but nothing out of the ordinary of a busy crowd. Let's jump in. Service - 5* Immediately upon entering and approaching the bar, I was greeted with a friendly acknowledgement and asked what I was looking for. I had an idea but was curious to see their menu. After placing an order, the drinks came out quite quick as they have a good balance of bartenders, I believe three were behind the counter so running drinks to tables and getting them seemed to flow well. Overall, the bartenders are attentive and the wait time for a drink isn't terrible at all. Cocktails - 4* The cocktails themselves are very typical classics. Their spirit selection is robust and definitely worth a look if you're seeking a clean, straight spirit to sip. All solid choices and there's a range for what taste profile you're wanting to have. As for execution and delivery, I didn't find the cocktails to be amazing by any means, but for the pricing, we were quite happy. Pricing - 5* I think with where prices have trended this place is keeping it consumer friendly and delivering. Overall - 4.5* I'd come back, I found the cocktails selection, spirit options, ambiance and patio seating options, and service to all land. If you're ever in the downtown Bryan area, I highly recommend stopping by here!

We were looking for a nice place to go before dinner for a couple of drinks. West End has a great…read moreatmosphere with dark paneling and an old school ambiance. But more importantly they serve excellent cocktails! They have over 100 different cocktails and from what I could judge from the couple that I had, they must all be excellent. I started out with a caipirinha which just how I like it - not too sweet. My next drink was a pisco sour. It too was excellent and both were super-refreshing! But the kicker for me was that they have cigar smoking section. Since it's not a cigar lounge, they have a tiny cabinet humidor, but their policy is that as long as you drink you can smoke your own cigars. I came prepared with my own cigars and that made the experience that much more enjoyable. Next time I'm in town, this will definitely be a stop! Finally, they have a sister lounge that is a speakeasy that doesn't even have a name. We went to the speakeasy after dinner and the drinks there were also excellent. If you go to West End, ask them about the speakeasy!
